Local pride will be at stake across most fixtures with what should be entertaining matches this weekend. We’ve looked through the fixtures and provided head-to-head statistics for five matches we think have the potential to end in a draw.

Nottingham Forest will face Brighton at the City Ground in what promises to be an engaging Premier League encounter. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance this season, but they’ve also had their struggles, especially Forest who are looking to leverage their strong home form.

Historically, these teams have had closely contested matches, with Forest having a slight edge in recent home games but Brighton managing to hold their ground or even secure points in their last few encounters. This match could go either way, with Forest looking to capitalize on their home advantage and Brighton eager to continue their trend of scoring on the road.

A crucial Championship encounter looms as Sheffield Wednesday host Luton Town at Hillsborough, with both sides eager to secure vital points in their respective campaigns.

Luton, fresh off Premier League relegation, aim to reignite their promotion push, leveraging physicality and set-piece prowess, with striker Carlton Morris a constant threat.

Head-to-Head Meetings:
Luton have dominated recent meetings, winning three of the last four league fixtures. This includes a 2-0 away victory in April 2022 and a 1-0 home win earlier that season. The Owls’ last triumph came in League One (1-0 in March 2019), but they held Luton to a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough in the 2019-20 campaign, hinting at potential for a tight contest.

34 – Carlisle vs Swindon
Carlisle United, currently nestled in the mid-table of League Two, are set to host Swindon Town at Brunton Park. The Cumbrians have been in decent form, showing resilience at home, but will need to sharpen their attack to climb higher in the standings.

Swindon Town, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag so far, currently placed 10th in the league. Under Michael Flynn’s management, they’ve shown flashes of brilliance but have struggled for consistency.
